**********************
Stalking dark bloom at night
Quick, lithe out of sight
Prowling stealth, jump right
Hushed, no sound at all
Felt lost, loped through wall
Hared wild, can't be found
Strained, waiting rebound
Inked heart without sound
Charging in hushed hour
Blooms this dear flower
Deafening hush dour
Mistress of the Quill
Twists you to her will
Ink in hand looks still
Wings served the goal scrawl
Sounds whisper, thoughts call
It is almost a year since
My lovely mother passed away
I miss her more than anyone will ever know
So many precious memories
Shared which will remain in my heart forever
Yet her presence is always with me
Objects she treasured I just adore
Useless items to some, but to me they’re priceless
Many things were left
Unsaid but one thing is for sure
Mum I love you and think of you each day

N-ew dawn's shining light
H-as taken the dusk away;
E-arly beacon brings joy,
N-ovember fifth sunny day.
H-ow warm is the new dawn, denying the old twilight;
E-very morning it breaks to make the day so bright.
M-ist, haze and fog
A-re all nowhere in sight;
R-ise of the sun begins
J-ust after the long coldest night.
O-ne dawn's shining light
R-emains radiant in red;
I-t makes you wake up
E-arly from your soft bed.
V-iew of the dawn's light
I-s coming from the sky;
E-ach gleam is glowing,
R-ays are emitted up high.
E-xceptional excitement
S-hared by the dawn's light
P-romises a better life
A-head if you do it right.
N-ever for a time I thought
O-f dark clouds getting white;
L-ook at the lane and see new dawn's shining light.
J-ust want to say a wish,
E-xpress my warm regard;
S-imple words and lines
S-hared through greeting card.
I-'m wanting to say a wish that brings a million mirth;
E-cstasy and pleasure play a great role in your birth.
S-aying a wish is well and good,
A-ugust tenth early morn;
R-emembering the event
I-s the matter that I've sworn.
C-oncise and brief message
A-llows the woes to vanish;
L-et me send this rhyme, just want to say a wish.
M-y birthday gift for you
E-xpresses excitement;
L-oneliness has turned
I-nto one merry moment.
S-ee my birthday gift
S-hared with total thrill;
A-mount of mirth is big, bringing down the chill.
A-llow me to send soon,
B-irthday gift for you;
A-ugust fifteenth early morn,
G-reeting is far from blue.
O-ne birthday gift for you is brought after the night;
N-ew dawn has broken, shining in pure delight.
G-ive to you an ecstasy,
A-s gift on your birthday;
R-equest for pleasure,
C-alling on God as you pray.
I-'ll deliver warm regard, to make your spirit lift;
A-n everlasting euphoria is found from birthday gift.
Home Sweet Home
Home is where your heart resides
Obliging to everyone’s needs
Memories that are made and
Embarrassed with spiritual growth
Shared with sunshine smiles
Warm hearts and hugs
Echoing rooms of children screaming and fighting
Eager to play hide- and- go-seek or camp in a
Tent in the living room pretending their out in the woods
Home is a place where family’s dream of little
Ones spreading their wings
Motivated with enlightening love and
Encouragement a place to feel safe

some how im the one to blame
i guess i hurt myself for fame
i said what you wanted to hear
but only said out of fear
but how can you sit there and juge me
and tell me what i could be
try to act like you know how i felt
when i was whipped by the belt
the cutting releases the stress
tho it can be a mess
so here i sit wishin my wrist were bleeding
to stop the pain from the beating
but just when everyone was about to give in
and i was alone counting my sins
you showed up into my life
forced me to put down the knife
something no one tried to do
who know that id be you
to show me the light
scared at frist because its so bright
now i have this second chance
but now life is hared to balance
i think of goin back to my old ways
but whats the point anyways
i have you to work for
and theres nothing i want more
I try to imagine it being a reality,
A reality containing you and I.
Me being able to let you know,
I want you to know how I feel
With your undeniable body,
And my quite admirable touch.
Nothing would be strong enough,
Nope! Not strong enough to stop us.
Us? That is what clutches it all,
There is no us, nor could there every be.
I don't really know how to tell you this,
What you want is what I have.
I'll make you feel in ways unknown to you.
My touch will make it hared fro you to breathe.
These lips on your lips,
Well it would make that poor tattered mind unwind.
There would be a halt on time itself,
As your fingertips caressed my body.
I wish I knew that this fascination could exist.
I want you to hold me, I always have.
I see you right before me,
Yet you still seem so far away.
